I would like to circulate an announcement for a PhD position on ground-based Lidar remote sensing research at Wageningen University. Please feel free to circulate it and to inform suitable candidates:www.academictransfer.com/4117

ESA is again offering young scientists the opportunity to undertake innovative research projects aimed at advancing the understanding of the Earth system, with a call for proposals for the Changing Earth Science Network initiative.

This initiative, launched last year, supports European postdoctoral scientists for two years to undertake innovative research projects that address specific scientific challenges outlined in ESA’s science strategy for Earth observation (EO).

PhD student position available in radar remote sensing at VTT in Helsinki, Finland.

VTT is launching an international graduate school in the beginning of 2010 to attract young, motivated researchers. One position is available in the Earth Observation team in Helsinki, Finland for a PhD student interested in developing SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) based applications of remote sensing. Results of this research work can be used in many application fields but the main focus is in forest mapping.
At the moment, climate change is one of the driving factors of the studies.

The deadline for abstract submission (15th November 2009) is approaching!

The Symposium will present the results of the ESA EO missions in
exploitation by:
providing a forum for investigators to present results of on-going
research project activities using ENVISAT, ERS, GOCE, SMOS, CRYOSAT and
ESA Third Party Missions data
presenting the development of applications and services including the
Global Monitoring for Environment and Security
presenting the ESA Climate Change Initiative
